[QUOTE="Bobby Southworth, post: 441537, member: 4960"] I agree with you. What was the point of having her back for two seasons to practically do nothing? I have to make the assumption that there were originally bigger plans?? Or were we just supposed to be reminded of the classic years by her minimal appearances? They thought that would be something of an element to get us back there, like all the Sue Ellen flashbacks during the making of her movie. Flashbacks to when the show was still good. No, too much damage had been done by that point for any of those things to make that much of a difference. I also wonder in a way if Charlene could have been asked back because someone higher up felt bad for the way she was treated when her contract wasn't renewed for season 9, but then I would probably have a hard time believing anyone was just being that 'nice'. Lucy could be a good character at times. I liked the early, bratty, conniving, yet still vulnerable version we saw in those first couple of years..her scenes with Kit come to mind. You would have really believed she loved that man, and she truly seemed heartbroken. That was very good acting and writing. Then, Lucy comes around a little bit again on my radar around the time her and Mickey became friends. We saw some of the old Lucy there. Acting tough and kinda snobby at first, and then opening up. Charlene could clearly act. I'm not sure why they didn't utilize her more, especially seasons 12 and 13.. [/QUOTE]
